KRA AND KPA

Key Result Areas

“Key Result Areas” or KRAs refer to general areas of outcomes or outputs for which a role is responsible. A typical role targets three to five KRA. KRAs are also known as key work outputs (KWOs).

Value

Identifying KRAs helps individuals: · Clarify their roles · Align their roles to the organisation’s business or strategic plan · Focus on results rather than activities · Communicate their role’s purposes to others · Set goals and objectives · Prioritize their activities, and therefore improve their time/work management · Make value-added decisions

Description

Key result areas (KRAs) capture about 80% of a work role. The remainder of the role is usually devoted to areas of shared responsibility (e.g., helping team members, participating in activities for the good of the organisation).

EXAMPLE

SALES [ KRAs]

-customer sales revenue

-customer servicing level

-merchandising

-accounts relationship

-key accounts / major accounts service

=======================================

KEY PERFORMANCE AREAS

These are the areas within the business unit, where an

individual or group, is logically responsible / accountable

for the results.

To manage each KRA, a set of KPI are set .

KRA and hence KPI is attributed to the person who

can have effect on the business results and is

self measured where applicable.

EXAMPLE

SALES

-sales target [ 15%] growth

CUSTOMER SERVICE

-raise service index by 6%

WAREHOUSING

-improve picking/ packing rate by 7%

You can have many KRAs/KPIs but 3/5 is workable

at best.

HOPE THIS IS USEFUL TO YOU.

REGARDS/ HAPPY DIWALI
